With these settings, the program performs the arrangement of the modules
within the sectors of the areas. Note
that these properties are applied to all sectors of the area.
Orientation:
These values represent the orientation of the strings in the area,
they are automatically calculated by the program based on the disposition
of the areas in the Layout.
Azimuth
Azimuth of strings, it is editable only while the system is in the
ground, if the system is on the roof this value is given by the
orientation of the lower edge of the area.
Tilt
Tilt of strings, it is editable only when the Coplanar
modules parameter is set to false or when the system is in
the ground.
Arrangement:
These values affect the way in which the program has strings within
the sectors of the areas.
Horizontal alignement
Alignment of the modules respect to the sector along the horizontal
direction, can be Left, Center or Right. The horizontal direction is
defined by the direction of the lower edge of the area.
Vertical alignement
Alignment of the modules respect to the sector along the vertical
direction, can be Left, Center or Right. The vertical direction is
defined by the direction perpendicular to the lower edge of the area.
Strings direction
Direction in which the strings are arranged, can be Vertical or
Horizontal. The vertical direction is defined by the direction
perpendicular to the lower edge of the area. The horizontal direction
is defined by the direction of the lower edge of the area.
Start point
Corner of the sector from which to begin the module arrangement.
Module disposition
Disposition of the arrangement of the modules, can be Vertical or
Horizontal. The vertical disposition is defined when the side of
major size of the module is perpendicular to the lower edge of the
area. The horizontal disposition is defined when the side of major
size of the module is parallel of the lower edge of the area.
Arrangement verso
Verso wherein arrange the modules in the lines subsequent to the
first, can be Alternating or Unique. If Alternating, the order of
numbering of each module of the string changes direction when the
modules are starting to be placed on a new line. If Unique, the order
of numbering of each module of the string has always the same
direction also when it change the line. The direction is determined
by the choice of Start point parameter.
String on multiline
Enables a string to be placed on multiple lines, if false a string
can be arranged only along a straight line. Using multiline optimizes
the exploitation of available space.
Modules alligned
Enables module arrangement aligning each module with those of the
other rows of strings.
Spacing:
Module distance
Distance between modules expressed in cm. This distance is in the
direction of the lower edge of the area.
Line distance
Distance between lines expressed in cm. This distance is in the
direction perpendicular to the lower edge of the area.
Optimal distance
Enable the distances between the lines of modules calculated so that
the modules do not shading between them. In this case, the Line
Distance parameter is not changeable and its value is
calculated by the program. This parameter is disabled if the modules
are coplanar to the area.
Various:
Coplanar modules
Enable the modules to be coplanar and integrated to the area, in this
case the Tilt parameter of
the string is not editable.
Height from area
Distance in height between the area and the lower edge of modules of
the strings, this distance is expressed in cm. This parameter is
disabled if the modules are coplanar to the area.
